Chuck NorrisTue, 22 Apr 2014 19:38:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-868212Before the Moto X there were quad-core S4 Pro-running Nexus 4 and LG Optimus G, which had a 768p display. Why don’t you complain about that?
Xperia Z2 launches globally on May 1. That’s 8 days from now. Not much time left for price cuts. G3 will only beat it for those who don’t care about updates and lag-free UI at all. For me, aside from those reasons, it’s also G3′s display that turns me off, because it’s so overkill I consider it a disadvantage. We’ll see the battery test though.
I believe 2 flagships per year is a good strategy.

AndSTue, 22 Apr 2014 19:25:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-868198it is marginal now too, between S5 and M8 and Z2. It all depends on your needs. Moto X has a dual core with a 720p screen, meaning it has to work half as much graphically.
Doesn’t matter, you proved my point: Z was lagging behind the others then, and now it’s months late to release. Think that by the time Z2 arrives the others will already receive their first price cut, and, even worse, it will be close to G3′s release, which will probably beat it all around. It won’t matter for S5 and M8 as they’ll already be cheap enough to still be worth it, but why would Sony have to cut price on a new device in order to still be worth it(I’m assuming there will still be a ful month or more until Z2 will be available here)
I think they should focus on one flagship/year. Their updates will be better and they have the chance to make even better devices. Plus most people update on a 18 month time-frame(6 months before the ending of the 2 year contract) so they could steal now-samsung users. Why do you think Samsung decided to release their flagships in march? It’s exactly 6 months later than the iPhone, allowing them to steal a lot of buyers looking for a new phone not willing to get an already “old” one. Quite a genius move, really. Seems their Marketing strategy department is a lot smarter than their design one xD

Chuck NorrisTue, 22 Apr 2014 12:14:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-868014Price – in my country it was consistently cheaper than the M7 and the S4.
Chipset – it doesn’t matter. Moto X had a dual-core S4 Pro variant in the days of SD600, and you could barely tell. Same goes for the HTC One Max, which had SD600 in the days of SD800. Specs are important, but not to the extent that we should complain if the device has a half-year-old chipset. I will not hear other arguments about it.
In early 2013, in my opinion, in terms of overall quality, S4 was first, M7 was second, Z was third, but the distance between them was marginal.

AndSTue, 22 Apr 2014 09:00:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-867938M7 was only worse in daylight, it had miles better low light performance. They were on par.
Battery-Agreed
Price- that’s what happened here, idk about where you live. Z1 currently costs as much as S5, I don’t even want to guess how much Z2 will cost when it comes here.
Chipset, it had the same GPU, but lower clocked. Plus S4 pro was quite a bit slower than SD600. And since they put a chipset made for 720p screens in a 1080p device performance certainly had to suffer. A lot.
HTC has faster software updates, so it doesn’t matter as much.
And HTC still had the better looking design(Z was a bit on the cheap side), IR blaster, speakers, better screen. So yes, I still think Z was worst of the bunch by quite a bit.
Anyway, it’s a worthless conversation on a year-old device. I’m still wondering what Sony will bring in 6 months from now.

mclarenfan1968Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:02:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-867739Lol Next year, next year, everything is a next year for HTC, you and the fanboys. Man you are so silly it’s takes the fun away when I trample you. Try to offer some sort of quality in your excuses. But then again I probably expecting too much from fanboy simpletons.

There is no question of ‘believing’ in an earnings report. Financial audits is not a faith based exercise like your strange love of anything HTC. It is fact and it is an exact method, it doesn’t run on belief/faith or whatever rubbish you spew around in here. Good lord what are you even on about?! lol

Sony is not my favorite brand. My wallet is my favorite brand if you want to see it that way. I own various brands I Samsung, Sony, Blackberry, Nokia and have tried the HTC One played around with it for sufficient time and it was a hype train wreck nothing more. Not one of the things the zealots get turned on about are true or relevant. Money can be better spent on top quality products from other brands as you can see in my example list above. The models of phones I own is an even larger list. Anything else? Did that make you swallow your tongue? ;-)

Coming back for more troll? You will. I know you will it’s in your nature to enjoy the beating you get. This proves true that many fanboys are secretive Sadomasochists.

mclarenfan1968Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:02:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-867740Yeah they keep saying that a lot and the zealots are very good at parroting it. Next year, well there is always the next year!

Chuck NorrisMon, 21 Apr 2014 20:25:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-867738The camera – HTC M7 was worse
Battery – HTC M7 was no better
Screen – agreed
Chipset – a half-year-old chipset can’t be called last-gen and considered a disadvantage, especially when it has the same GPU as the current-gen one
Price – no way
Launched with 4.1 – HTC M7 was no better

The real question is, why didn’t they put in 1080p@60fps?

AndSMon, 21 Apr 2014 19:57:00 +0000http://blog.gsmarena.com/?p=65505#comment-867733I heard they didn’t fix it this year because of they invested a lot in ultrapixel. Or maybe their initial plan was to put an 8MP Ultrapixel but just couldn’t make it in time/was too expensive/ another reason so they had to make the compromise. If it’s a deal-breaker, they’ll fix it. It’s not like all the decisions are made in a closed chamber like at the papal election where they have no contact with the exterior world. They know very well what people like and don’t like. If Ultrapixel is again losing sells, they will put a proper camera next time.
Or maybe they put the same camera to keep the costs down and bring it less expensive than competitors as it is now in my country.
Or maybe people simply didn’t care and it wasn’t a deal-breaker.
Or maybe they just plan to expand this technology so that in time it will become on par or better than the others.
Many posibilities, but anyway. If it’s a real problem it will get fixed by next year, they don’t afford making such mistakes in their state.
